David -

Grin indeed. :-)  The ACTFL/IALL technology workshop team does this 
all the time, since we give the workshops in labs with both 
platforms. It works OK as long as everyone uses a fairly recent 
version of PowerPoint. So far we seem to be growing old gracefully. 
:-)

The only problem I have noticed was that, after sending various 
versions of the files around as attachments, one of Ursula's graphics 
developed a case of the jaggies. I'm not sure how or why. We fixed 
the problem by copying the graphic from an earlier file and 
re-pasting it into the newer version.
